This is a record that creates atmosphere. Most of it is innocuous enough, seemingly content to float along without ever becoming all that imposing. But the music constructed by dubstep phenomenon Burial soon creeps into your consciousness and establishes itself, building a haunting ambiance that burns softly, always mindful of restraint yet never ceasing to be relentless in its frantic repetition of nervous beats. Composed of 13 separate tracks, Burial creates such harmony within the record and between takes that the album reveals itself as a unique whole that should really be listened to in one sitting, no preference given to any particular piece. It envelops the listener over time in a way that is impossible for a single track to accomplish. It sort of begins and ends in one drawn-out moment, and it soon becomes difficult to recall with any precision the details of the experience. Untrue sculpts a memorable soundscape that does well to show the brilliant result of fusing ambient meandering with a hip-hop aesthetic. At the moment, Burial is unmatched in his ability to craft compelling dubstep records and pull the discipline out from its underground dwellings. by David Plante ( Number 08 )

The user avoids having to store a variety of differently shaped vases each taking up space. Instead, one adjusts the vase to its surroundings. On an elongated table one may want a more rectangular vase, whereas a round table may inspire a more circular form. The color schemes are variable as well.

The Jeeves & Wooster series were designed as a playful take on lighting with a real sense of cultural identity. The hat is an object that often associates its wearer with a particular society, heritage or race. The bowler and top hat are classic British cultural icons reflecting a bygone era of imperialism, class divide and eccentricity.

TONDM Architects have designed the new headquarters Harley Davidson, Australian. The building was designed to reflect the uniqueness of Harley Davidson. This is not simply a brand, for many it is an entire lifestyle and attitude. We could relate to this image, it is at once about good design, but also about freedom and challenging the norm. We decided to really go for it and design a building that expressed this freedom and speed.

For design inspiration we looked to the bikes themselves; their emotion and efficiency. The geometry of the engines and frames can be seen in the lines of the building. The building does not copy them, however, it suggests this movement and style.

The brief for the building is a reflection of the Harley Davidson culture, giving as much emphasis to the gymnasium and break-out areas as the office and storage space. We designed the building to reflect this; with the location of all of the recreational and break-out areas near the entry. You enter into a central mezzanine. From there you can see all of the areas that reflect the Harley lifestyle. You can also look down into the technical and training areas. You are immediately aware of what Harley Davidson is all about.

The facility will contain administrative offices, technical training and storage facilities for the iconic motorcycle company. The landmark building will form the striking centrepiece for a new high-tech business park on the Lane Cove River.

intimate 65 sqm bar situated in central Stockholm. They are open daily and nightly, food as well as cocktails are served. It features only five tables but offers plenty of space for spontaneous dancing. Pleasant is a fragmented fever dream, a place where the city meets an enchanted forest. The endless mirror ball ceiling in the bar area permits secret spying on everyone else. The wall framing the bar interior forms a graphic element as well as a bottle stand, DJ stand and narrow one-cocktail-only tables. The mix of wooden chairs are vintage, and coated with glossy black lacquer to become a family. We think of them as mutants of the same species. The graphics, the exterior glass illustrations, and the urban forest wallpaper were made by friends at dizelsate.com. Different excerpts from the wall illustration are making each backlit glass table unique. Joel Degermark¹s Cluster Lamps for Moooi are placed above each table, each with a different set-up of light bulbs. The mirror walls and mirror ceiling in the restrooms also play with infinity illusions and trippy kaleidoscopic effects. Strands of fiber optical threads are reflected in the bathroom ceilings and walls, creating an endless sea of illuminated grass.
